Javed may not be the best choice for Guzarish, an essentially Abhijeet’ish number with a gorgeous tune and the usual Rahman-styled flow, while Kaise mujhe’s mellifluous pathos gets slightly muted...

Music review: Ghajini (Hindi – A R Rahman)
Guzarish is silky smooth no doubt, what with Javed’s adept vocals…but the tune lacks the finesse associated with a Rahman track, particularly in the antara-mukhda bridges, while Aye bachu and...

Hai rama has Sukhwinder and Neha Kakkad going through the drill – the latter doing a neat sister-Sonu impersonation! The song’s catchy, but predictable. The title song is built like...
Continue reading...Music review: Sorry Bhai (Hindi – Gaurav Dayal, Vivek Philip)
There’s dollops of Pritam in the breezy Mere khuda – with KK’s ace vocals, this is a very good hear. Its remix is mighty interesting too, shorn of the usual...

Labh Janjua’s enthusiastic vocals are the only solace in the assembly-line techno-Punju Teri naganee and the brothers hopelessly imitate Pritam’s sound in Mehbooba, to no specific effect. Teri yaad’s base...
Continue reading...Music review: Dasvidaniya (Hindi – Kailash Kher, Naresh and Paresh Kamath)
The trio, Kailash Kher, Naresh and Paresh Kamath score just three tracks in Dasvidaniya – but the songs resonate with such incredible imagination and variety that a mere 3-song soundtrack...
Continue reading...Music review: Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! (Hindi – Sneha Khanwalkar & Dibakar Banerjee)
The passable title song is reminiscent of the director’s earlier, Chak de phattey, not in its tune, but in its relentless dependence on the hook. Jugni, by Des Raj Lachkani...
